Social Security reform might alienate middle-aged

Tim Sheppard

It is great that President Bush talks about Social Security reform to allow "younger" workers to invest part of their payments into stocks, and I think that is a good idea for a "young" person.

But how does he draw the line at 55 years old between "older" and "younger" workers? What about those folks who are from 40-54 years old? I'm 45 and have been paying into Social Security for 29 years. By the time any reform could become law, I won't have time for dollar-cost-averaging investment and such. The president just may be alienating the entire middle-age group.
